Chapter 548: Mending the Calamity, and the Eyes of the Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen

Facing the God General's overwhelmingly tyrannical punch.

Yu Liancheng merely extended a single finger, light and effortless.

Seeing the opponent treat him with such contempt, a flash of anger crossed the God General's eyes.

At the same time, he further stimulated his World-Destroying Demon Body, determined to make his opponent pay the price for underestimating him.

However, the moment this punch reached within three feet of Yu Liancheng, it was as if it had slammed into a mass of paste. For every inch it advanced, the power in the punch dissolved by a fraction, like snow under the scorching sun; it was unclear what method the opponent used to neutralize it.

The God General's punching force was continuously worn away, and by the time it struck Yu Liancheng, it was likely no more than a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

The God General knew something was wrong and rapidly circulated his Undying Demon God, but when he tried to pull back and retreat, he found it was already too late.

A strange suction force emerged from that slender, lustrous finger of his opponent, like a vortex lurking on the surface of the sea; whether it was a person or a ship, once drawn into it, it was inevitably difficult to break free, with destruction as the only final outcome.

The surrounding air also seemed to transform into a tangible tide, continuously pushing the God General.

Under the dual control of the pushing force and the suction, the God General was unable to help himself and was thrown toward Yu Liancheng.

As soon as the palm wearing the Divine Stone gauntlet collided with that finger, a force of great destruction and devastation bypassed the Divine Stone and surged through; the entire arm creaked and groaned, the sound of bones shattering was incessant, and this terrifying power continued to spread throughout the God General's entire body. Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and a look of decisiveness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, the God General held his other hand upright like a blade, and with a muffled grunt, he actually hacked off his entire arm; fresh blood fell like rain.

"Damn it, this person cannot be fought head-on; the God came to trick me into my death."

Having witnessed the horror of this person, the God General turned to flee.

Yu Liancheng flicked his finger, and a strand of Sword Qi shot into the God General's body like lightning, wandering through his limbs, bones, and acupoints all over his body.

As soon as the God General moved his body even slightly, strands of brilliant Sword Qi shot out from within him, and blood arrows burst from his entire body; in an instant, he was covered in blood and gore.

It was only thanks to the God General having cultivated his World-Destroying Demon Body to an extremely high realm that this strike did not cost him his life.

The God General immediately dared not move.

He was no fool; not only was he cunning and treacherous, but he was also extremely gifted in Martial Dao, otherwise, he could never have cultivated the World-Destroying Demon Body to such a realm.

That strand of Sword Qi wandered within his body, forming a harmonious cycle with his True Qi. Yet, the moment he moved his body even slightly, the Sword Qi would erupt like a volcanic explosion, surging outward.

Just a slight movement earlier had resulted in such a plight.

If he truly tried to use light-body techniques, he would likely explode into a mist of blood the moment he raised his True Qi, dying without a whole corpse.

Yu Liancheng paid no further attention to the God General.

The God General holding the Divine Stone was indeed strong, but his own Heavenly Human cultivation, combined with the realm of Land Immortal, allowed him to grasp the power of the Heavenly Human to an unprecedented height.

Whenever he wished, he could turn the surrounding hundred zhang into his own world.

And in this world, whether it was the tangible flowers, plants, and trees, or the flowing air currents, all were under his control, as if they were his own limbs.

Turning around, Yu Liancheng looked toward the intersection of the West Lake Water Pulse and the Earth Core Fire Pulse.

Naturally, this could not be left to its own devices.

Otherwise, before long, most of the Central Plains would be affected, and hundreds of millions of living beings would suffer a catastrophe.

One of the reasons why the Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen chose to abandon the Divine Stone back then was that he could not resolve this disaster.

But for Yu Liancheng, it was not necessarily impossible.

With a thought, the Divine Stone flew into his hand.

"As expected."

The moment the Divine Stone was in his hand, under the all-encompassing probe of his divine sense, Yu Liancheng understood all the characteristics of this Divine Stone.

As the God General had said, the two greatest characteristics of the Divine Stone were its ability to change into a myriad of forms and to enhance the user's power.

But this enhancement of power had a certain limit.

An expert like the God General could be enhanced twenty-fold, but in Yu Liancheng's hands, it could only enhance him by at most three times. As his strength continued to improve, this amplification would become increasingly limited.

Furthermore, although the Divine Stone was a peerless divine weapon, it did not mean it was indestructible or eternal.

In the original timeline, due to the impact of the water and fire pulses, the Divine Stone was shattered into pieces after being retrieved and repeatedly clashing with the peerless expert, the God, finally disintegrating after resisting a world-destroying explosion...

And now, the Divine Stone was already severely worn and depleted.

It was precisely because the Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen had perceived the various flaws of the Divine Stone that he decided to put it back under the Leifeng Pagoda.

But Yu Liancheng still decided to take the Divine Stone.

In any case, the Divine Stone's characteristic of changing into a myriad of forms alone was enough to move him.

Of course, the most important thing now was how to resolve the conflict between the water and fire pulses.

The Divine Stone flashed with brilliance, transforming into a glowing glove as thin as a cicada's wing, which Yu Liancheng wore on his hand.

He looked at the water dragon cascading down from the top, his gaze turning sharp, and released a tyrannical aura that swept out in all directions like a tidal hurricane.

His black hair flew wildly, his entire being radiating an aura like a god or a demon, standing proudly between heaven and earth. He raised his arm upward, and the cascading water pulse miraculously rolled back, surging in reverse.

A moment later, there was no more water column at the top of the cavern, only a huge hole.

Under the God General's terrified gaze, Yu Liancheng lightly stamped his foot.

Bang!

The seemingly simple step contained unimaginable power, and with the harmony of heaven and human, it stirred the power of the earth pulse.

Instantly, the entire ground began to tremble, and amidst a thunderous roar, earth dragons spiraled out, dancing and roaring as they surged toward the hole, actually using these earth dragons to fill the entire hole and mend the water pulse.

After completely mending the hole, Yu Liancheng still felt unsatisfied; with a wave of his sleeve, a saber appeared in his hand, three feet and seven inches long, emitting a chilling cold.

—Snow Drink Saber.

Facing the magma, Yu Liancheng used the Cold Blade Icy Heart of the Aohan Six Arts as a foundation and slashed out a ten-zhang-long icy blade aura.

Whoosh!

The entire magma pool boiled over, the magma rolling up like a tidal wave several zhang high, but it did not fall back down. Because the icy blade aura instantly cooled and solidified the magma, then covered it in a layer of icy energy, which spread throughout the entire cavern.

As the cold air dissipated, the earth cavern was frozen solid before long.

Or rather.

Calling it an earth cavern now was no longer accurate; it would be more correct to call it an ice cavern.

The ice cave emitted a bone-chilling cold; if an ordinary person were to step inside, they would likely be frozen into an ice stick in less than a quarter of an hour.

The magma that had originally surged was now flickering with a crystalline hue, as if carved from crystal, yet within it seemed to be a mass of fiery red, appearing exceptionally resplendent.

Yu Liancheng nodded with satisfaction at this.

Next, he lowered his head to look at the Divine Stone and the Snow Drink Saber. He secretly thought to himself, it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Four Great Strange Stones, possessing boundless power.

In reality, with his Heavenly Human cultivation, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth would be enough to freeze this cave, but he could not do it as easily and effortlessly as this.

Putting away the Divine Stone and the Snow Drink Saber, Yu Liancheng turned around and swept his gaze over the God General.

The God General's body trembled slightly; only now did he understand what a profound and terrifying existence this "terror of the terrified" was.

Let alone him, even Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, who had lived for two hundred years and cultivated both the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Extinguishing Demon Body to perfection, would still be a cut below.

At the same time, the God General was cursing inwardly.

That damn Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

This is sending me to my death!

Seeing Yu Liancheng walking toward him step by step, a trace of fear could not help but appear in the God General's eyes. His lips seemed to move, but he did not open his mouth to beg for mercy.

It was not that the God General would rather die than submit, but that the Sword Qi within his body was circulating increasingly wantonly, merging and connecting with his own True Qi. The God General was very worried that if he opened his mouth to speak, he would break that harmony, triggering the Sword Qi to erupt and leaving him without a whole corpse.

At this moment, Yu Liancheng had already walked to the front of the God General, but his footsteps did not stop. A moment later, he disappeared from the God General's field of vision. The God General let out a soft breath; he possessed the World-Extinguishing Demon Body, and as long as he was given time, he believed he would be able to grind away that strand of Sword Intent.

However, a light, airy voice drifted over.

"I heard you like to suck on other people's brains; perhaps... today you can taste your own."

After the words were spoken, the Sword Qi within the God General's body was completely triggered, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly surging toward the top of his skull.

A moment later, only a scream from the God General was heard, and a ray of sword light shot out from between his eyebrows.

With a muffled "bang," the God General's tall body crashed to the ground, twitching; his eyes could only reveal a sense of despair. The formidable body forged by the World-Extinguishing Demon Body did not actually perish immediately.

And where the sword light poured out from his brow, a mass of bloody pulp flowed out, dripping onto the ice surface, gradually spreading until it reached the God General's lips...

West Lake.

A crowd of commoners and tourists gathered by the West Lake, discussing the matter animatedly.

Previously, the calm West Lake had emitted a terrifying "rumbling" sound, as if a Flood Dragon were stirring up trouble in the lake, intending to turn the human world into a watery kingdom. Even the water level had risen at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was extremely shocking. If there had been no further anomalies afterward, the surrounding commoners would likely have fled in all directions out of fear.

Yu Liancheng had already exited the Leifeng Pagoda; after watching the excitement for a while, he walked slowly out of the crowd. Walking to a relatively secluded spot, he suddenly stopped his footsteps, staring at a patch of nameless flowers on the ground. Under his gaze, these unknown little flowers quickly bloomed, then withered, faded, and finally fell into the dust.

"When a flower withers, come spring, there will always be another flower that blooms. And for many flowers, only the moment of blooming is when life is at its most intense. Yet some flowers, clearly already withered and decayed, still cling to the mortal world; they are neither willing to wither nor able to bloom again, neither living nor dead."

Yu Liancheng seemed to be speaking from feeling: "What is the point of living like such a flower? Besides taking up space, it would be better to just die."

Having said this, he lifted his foot and stepped that withered flower into the mud.

"Since you cannot seek true immortality, yet you refuse to die, it really is quite troublesome." Yu Liancheng sighed leisurely: "Wouldn't you agree, Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen!"

However, at the very next moment, a cold snort echoed in the void, seeming far yet near, seeming real yet illusory, yet it carried a power that could make ghosts and gods tremble, shaking the soul.

If it were an ordinary expert, just hearing this cold snort would likely have caused them to bleed from their seven orifices due to the shock.

Of course, for Yu Liancheng, this was not worth mentioning.

However, at the next moment, two strands of invisible force pierced through the void and shot toward Yu Liancheng, fast as lightning and even more ethereal.

This force was very strange.

With Yu Liancheng's knowledge, it actually took him a moment to recognize it.

Because what emitted this force was neither a fist, nor a palm, nor a saber, nor a Flying Sword...

But eyes.

Eyes.

Fists have fist force, palms have palm force, so the force emitted by the eyes is, of course, called "Yanjing."

And this was a strand of Yanjing.

As the saying goes, the gaze is like lightning; for top-tier experts, the eyes can certainly be used as weapons. It is just that compared to fist and foot techniques, the power of "Yanjing" is naturally a cut below. But it is much more concealed, and very fast, after all, the gaze is often faster than hands and feet. Where the gaze reaches, it kills invisibly.

Of course, the eye area is fragile; those who wish to cultivate Yanjing must be gifted. Otherwise, if one is not careful, one might end up blinding oneself.

Yu Liancheng's "Glance of Terror" is also a martial art related to the eyes, but its essence is to stir up the seven emotions and six desires with spiritual power, rather than being true, substantial Yanjing.

Facing the strange attack of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, Yu Liancheng's figure did not move; the Yanjing dissolved and vanished when it reached three feet from him.

And he raised his palm, within which flames seemed to burn, generating immense heat that seemed capable of melting iron. This was the opening stance of the Tianshan Liuyang Palm; as one of the trump card palm techniques of the Xiaoyao Sect, it was rigid, fierce, and domineering. Now, executed by Yu Liancheng, it was even more magnificent and filled with oppressive force.

The next moment, the Tianshan Liuyang Palm erupted like a volcano.

Boom!

The surging palm force struck into the void, immediately triggering a violent blast of Qi, with hurricanes sweeping in all directions.

Another muffled groan sounded, but compared to the previous voice filled with majesty, it was terrifyingly aged.

At the same time, a black shadow suddenly appeared; this was vaguely the shadow of a person, yet it was very faint, like a breeze or flowing water. Especially that face, which was even more distorted and hard to see.

The next moment.

This figure disappeared again.

"Heh, so God not only knows how to ambush, but also how to run away." A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Yu Liancheng's mouth: "If you want to leave, I will send you on your way."

Amidst his words, he flipped his hand and delivered another domineering Tianshan Liuyang Palm; in an instant, it was as if a sun had exploded, the violent and scorching palm force whistling incessantly, triggering an explosion of airflow.

This palm force flew horizontally for over ten zhang; the West Lake water was stirred by this terrifying palm force, and while the mist steamed, pillars of water shot into the sky, resembling roaring Flood Dragons.

Boom!

That figure from before revealed itself from the void once more, staggered, and then plunged into the West Lake, its aura completely dissipating.

"So the Heaven Ultimate Maha has not yet reached perfection."

Yu Liancheng shook his head and did not pursue.

For one, Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen's Heaven Ultimate Maha had not yet reached perfection, so it was not yet time for the harvest. Secondly, he could not spare the time to hunt down God, because more trouble had come knocking at his door.

Shifting his gaze, he saw a figure rapidly flying over from the horizon, flickering and difficult to track. In the time it took for a few breaths, the figure had already landed on a willow tree not far from Yu Liancheng.
